Texas to eliminate plumbing licenses Sept. 1 (Trade Brehs on notice)

[Shoog Shatmi]

I mean, auto mechanics don't need licensing, and their work has a similar level of complexity and liability risk...

The cream will rise to the top.

Just because you can call yourself a plumber doesn't make you one.

nikkas gonna be showing up to peoples homes with a bottle of Drano Max Gel

The funny thing is, that’s all that needs to be done sometimes and plumbers have been charging an arm and a leg for basically doing nothing

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

how is this any different then givin someone a sticker to slap on their car and call themselves a "Cab Driver"?.....

We about to see a the plumber version of uber

 

[GunRanger]

So before this only certain people were allowed to work on YOUR house?

Technically this is true anywhere. If you do major work and something goes wrong insurance wont pay if it wasnt done by a licensed professional

 

[Jean Jacket]

Nix the unions. Decrease gov construction costs. Court Mexicans politically. Push Blacks out of trades because they can't compete with cheap labor. Open doors for more poor whites.

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

This is a very very stupid move with no real upside. Construction disputes make up the majority of small claims court cases. Usually someone being a victim of an fly by night contractor with no certifications.

fukked up plumbing can destroy not only your place but the people around you too

I feel like Porta-Potty business gone ...... not the best smiley

 

[Oatmeal]

Pay some illegals $3 an hour to install your drainage system.

Pumbers gonna show up to fix jobs like..

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

Some techie will make a Uber style app for plumbers and we will keep it moving.

 

[Dameon Farrow]

I mean what's the real penalty for saying your a plumber if you're not.?

If nothing ever goes wrong with what was installed/fixed then there is no penalty. Per Se

There is a reason these dudes proudly proclaim License and Insured on their trucks and paperwork.

 

[50CentStan]

Messycans about to

I mean, auto mechanics don't need licensing, and their work has a similar level of complexity and liability risk...

Really?

I never knew that.

Anti union movement

I hate to be that dude but if a person can't diagnose their system to decipher if a bottle of Drain Cleaner was all they needed they need to fork over that convenience charge.
